(4) PS Illustrated by Jane Wattenberg. Wattenberg sets Lear's famous poem--a duck eager for exploration begs a kangaroo for a ride--to Photoshopped images that mesh original photos with a sampling of naturalist paintings. The brightly colored result doesn't quite achieve cohesion or accessibility, but it's a trippy ride evoking the whimsy of the piece. Brief notes about Lear and the book's art are included.
